Settlement Agreement

A Settlement Agreement is a legally binding document that terminates your current employment, often involving a severance payment and any payments you are contractually entitled to.

Anyone signing a Settlement Agreement is required to receive Independent Legal advice. UFS can offer this advice to anyone and, in most circumstances, ensure this is done in an efficient manner with NO COST TO THE EMPLOYEE.

Over the years many laws have been put in place to protect your employment rights, such as being able to pursue claims at an Employment Tribunal. A Settlement Agreement signs away many of these employment rights and as such you must have taken legal advice to ensure that you fully understand the implications of the agreement.

UFS are experienced legal advisers in this field, making the required advice quick, easy and as stress free as possible. Our Employee Relations team based in Cheltenham are trained to deal with Settlement Agreements and has been offering this advice for over 10 years.

The process can be done over the phone or in person at our offices in Cheltenham. Let us know your preference and we will aim to accommodate this.
